Setting up the source database with deferred agent startup for online backup

Use the following steps to set up the source database with deferred agent startup for online backup:

1. Create a structure file. For example:

prostrct list source-db-name source-db-name.st

2. Verify that after-imaging is enabled. If AI is not enabled:

a. Create and edit a structure file (source-db-name-ai.st) to add AI.

b. Apply source-db-name-ai.st to the source database, as shown:

prostrct add source-db-name source-db-name_ai.st

c. Back up the database, as shown:

probkup source-db-name source-db-backup-name

d. Begin AI, as shown:

rfutil source-db-name -C aimage begin

3. Enable Replication, as shown:

proutil source-db-name -C enableSiteReplication source

4. Back up the database, as shown:

probkup online source-db-name source-db-backup-name -REPLTargetCreation

5. Set defer-agent-startup in the server properties file, as shown:

[server]
     control-agents=agent-name
     database=source-db-name
     transition=manual
     transition-timeout=1200
     defer-agent-startup=1400

6. Restart the source database, as shown (note that -DBService is case-sensitive):

PROSERVE -db source-db-name -DBService replserv
-S {port|service name }
